There are one or two theories flying around. Boris is announcing a lot of money for various domestic things. Some say that he's going to call a snap election even though he said he won't. I wouldn't put it past him to call a general election AT THE TIME THAT WE SHOULD BE LEAVING so that there will be no parliament to vote against a no-deal Brexit. Even after parliament is prorogued he will still be prime minister with full powers until a new parliament sits. That's my theory, anyway!

You could probably pick up our domestic channels via satellite. I think the satellite footprint may spill over into the Netherlands. I do that here in France. And it should be "lose", not "loose" in the URL! So much for education!

As beautiful as ever! Brexit won't take that away from us because the French need us to restore their old villages! The only fly in the ointment at the moment is the dreadful rate of exchange. However, I do have a bank account over here which I filled up a few months ago when the exchange rate was better.
